Bible Flyleaf Quotations

“Nothing goes further to help one understand the Bible than the purpose to obey it…Nothing clears the mind like obedience; nothing darkens the mind like disobedience. To obey a truth you see prepares you to see other truths. To disobey a truth you see darkens your mind to all truths.” R.A.Torrey, “How to Succeed in the Christian Life”, p.60ff

“For a man solemnly to undertake the interpretation of any portion of Scripture without invocation of God, to be taught and instructed by his Spirit, is a high provocation of Him; nor shall I expect the discovery of truth from any one who thus proudly engages in a work so much above his ability.” John Owen, Works 4:204
